3 On-board Battery Fuel Cell Radioisotope Power System 40 0 POWER POWER A battery is required for all solar-powered missions. Gives your mission electricity. Gives your mission electricity. Stores power collected by solar panels so your mission can survive when the sun is not visible. Does not need the sun or a battery. Provides more power than solar panels. Works everywhere. Does not need the sun or a battery. Provides the most power of all. Works everywhere. Lasts over a decade. Increases the cost, mass and power points for your mission. 0 Lasts a few months. Costs more than solar panels. Costs the most. Has the most mass. Low-Resolution Camera Medium-Resolution Camera High-Resolution Camera Sees a very wide area of Mars. Low cost, low mass. Does not use much power. Can t see small details on Mars. Sees twice as much detail as the Low-Resolution Camera. Low mass and low power usage. Medium cost. Sees a smaller area on Mars than the Low-Resolution Camera. 4 Sees the most detail of all. See only a tiny area of Mars. Costs the most. Has more mass and uses more power than other cameras. Infrared Camera Infrared Spectrometer High-Energy Spectrometer Gives basic information about minerals and grain size of the soil on Mars. Low mass and low power usage. Medium cost. 6 Helps discover if Mars was ever a habitat for microbial life. Detects minerals in detail, including those that formed in water, which is essential to life. Low mass and low power usage. High cost. 7 Helps discover if Mars was ever a habitat for microbial life. Helps show where on Mars has water, which is essential to life. Low mass and low power usage. High cost. 8

5 Radiation Sensor Life Sciences Laboratory Laser Topography Mapper Helps discover if Mars could be a habitat for humans someday. Helps discover signs of past or present microbial life on Mars. Shows healthier places for people where radiation is lower. Low cost, mass and power usage. Data may not be used for a long time to support human missions. 9 Helps find out if Earth is the only place that supports life. Highest cost, most mass and uses the most power. Requires sample collection device (card #). 0 Measures the high and low points of the Martian terrain, including mountains and craters. Low mass and low power usage. High cost. Color Stereo Camera Atmosphere/Wind Sensors Magnetometer 0 Helps discover areas that might protect microbial or human life. Provides a D experience of Mars by combining images taken by a set of cameras. Low mass and low power usage. Medium cost. Collects detailed data about wind speeds and chemicals in the atmosphere. Very low cost, low mass and low power usage. Measures where Mars has a magnetic field, which can protect life from radiation. Very low cost, low mass and low power usage. 4 Sample Collection Device Wheels Tracks Required for Life Sciences Laboratory. Either wheels or tracks are required for rover missions. Either wheels or tracks are required for rover missions. Collects air, rocks or soil samples for study by the Life Sciences Laboratory. Adds minor costs, mass and power usage to your mission. Wheels carry rovers to discoveries beyond their landing sites. Medium speed and work on rocky terrain. Have a little more mass, and use a little more power than tracks. 6 Have less mass and use less power than wheels. Can make it harder to climb over some obstacles. Less precise steering. 7

7 Robotic Arm Rock Drill Rotating Instrument Mount 8 Collects samples and carries a number of science instruments. Collects samples by drilling into rocks. Provides flexible structure for multiple science instruments. Doesn t use much power. Low cost. Provides an added science point. Medium mass. 8 Low cost, low mass. Provides an added science point. Medium power. 9 Holds science instruments so they can collect data in a circle without moving the spacecraft. Adds minor costs, mass and power usage to your mission. 0 Heat Shield Hypersonic Parachute Retro Rockets Required to protects all landers and rovers traveling through the atmosphere to the surface. Very low cost. Does not use power. Medium mass. Required for all Mars landers and rovers. Slows the spacecraft down prior to using airbags or retro rockets. Low cost. Does not use power. Medium mass. Either airbags or retro rockets are required for Mars landers and rovers. Slows the spacecraft down for a controlled landing. Lower cost and mass than airbags. Spacecraft can be damaged by landing in rocky terrain. Airbags Impact Probe Standard Microprocessor Either airbags or retro rockets are required for Mars landers and rovers. Protects spacecraft from impacts on rocks and slopes. Higher cost and mass than rockets. Precise landings are difficult because the airbags bounce. 4 Probes can be added to enhance discoveries. Penetrates the Martian surface at high speeds to collect data from below the surface Does not use power. Adds cost and mass to your mission. At least one microprocessor is required for all Mars missions. Provides mission brainpower. Low cost, mass and power usage. Provides only basic functions needed to receive commands and send data. 6
8
9 Advanced Microprocessor Main Bus High-Gain Antenna At least one microprocessor is required for all Mars missions. More brainpower lets the spacecraft make simple choices without commands from Earth. Costs more and uses more power than the standard microprocessor. 7 Connects science tools with the onboard computer so they work. Required for all missions! Low power usage. Allows you to make discoveries with your science tools. Medium cost and mass. 8 At least one antenna is required to communicate with Earth. Sends large amounts of data at one time. Costs more and uses more power than the Low-Gain Antenna. 9 Low-Gain Antenna Main Memory Card Spin-Off: Automobile Sensors At least one antenna is required to communicate with Earth. Low cost and power. Can be used as a backup for the High-Gain Antenna. Cannot send much information at one time. 40 Stores all Mars data until it can be sent back to Earth. Required for all missions! Low cost, mass and power usage. None! Your mission does not have a continuous link with Earth, so you need a way to store your data. 4 Hooray! Sensors created for your Mars mission help cars become more energy-efficient and easier to maintain! EFFECT: $ million for your future research. 4 Spin-Off: Communications Spin-Off: Weather Prediction Budget Cut! Hooray! People around the world can stay in touch more easily by using new communications technologies created for your Mars mission. EFFECT: $ million for your future research. Hooray! Your Mars mission discoveries gave new clues about Earth s atmosphere. Scientists can now predict weather better! Sorry! Congress reduced NASA s budget. EFFECT: Your mission loses one science tool. 4 EFFECT: $ million for your future research. 44 4
10
11 Rocket Failure! System Failure! Sorry! During system testing, one science tool failed to work. Sorry! Your rocket failed during testing. You had to buy another one. EFFECT: Your mission loses one science tool. EFFECT: You cut out two science tools to help pay for the new rocket
